First, make sure your eye cream contains caffeine, which will help tighten your skin, and cucumber, which will help calm any puffiness. Then, dip the ends of two clean cotton swabs into an eye cream and pop them into a plastic sandwich bag before putting them in the freezer at night. In the morning, run the ends with the eye cream from the inner corners outward, applying a little bit of pressure as you slowly glide the cotton swabs toward the outer corners. The gliding movement will help drain the fluid that’s pooling underneath your eye, while the cold eye cream and its ingredients will help minimize any puffiness.
